Jewishlouisville.org Has New Look, New Features

Jewishlouisville.org has a brand new look. It’s contemporary in feel, moves quickly when you click and reorganized to make it easier to find the information you’re seeking.

The site provides three portals for you to explore. In the Jewish Community Center area, you’ll find details about all JCC classes, schedules and programs.

As always, a website is a work in progress. While you can’t sign up for classes online yet, keep checking the site. We’re working on that and it will be available soon.

The Federation portal is loaded with information about the Annual Federation Campaign and the Jewish Foundation of Louisville. It also offers transparency into the Federation’s financial stewardship by providing easy access to the Jewish Community of Louisville’s Annual Reports, Audited Financial Statements and IRS Form 1099s.

The Community portal is your go to place for information about the entire Jewish community. You can read articles from the current issue of Community. Some archived material is available now and more will be coming on-line in the months to come.

In addition, if you’re looking for information about a specific organization, the Community portal is your one-stop shop. You’ll find the link you’re looking for to under Louisville’s Jewish Community. Just one click and you’ll go to that organization’s web site for their most current information.

The Community Calendar was updated as well. Like the calendar on the old site, this one is open to all Jewish congregations, agencies and organizations in Louisville. The events that they submit are listed and color coded by category and you can choose to the whole calendar or just selected categories. Mouse over an event and you can see the details. You can also save the event to your personal calendar.

This new website was made possible by a grant from the Jewish Heritage Fund for Excellence. It was designed by Via Studio, with help and input from the JCL’s Marketing Committee and staff. Marketing Director Ben Goldenberg spearheaded the project.

The JCC, Federation and Community are brands of the Jewish Community of Louisville.
